The sermon we heard before we left for Boston was from James: 
or hupomeno, literally meaning under (hupo) and abide or remain (meno). It is an action word, not passive, and it speaks to fortitude that undergirds you, not a facade of resignation or stoic denial. To me it seems like the "guts" of faith, something that can't come from you alone. It has to come from God.
